Hi,
is there anyone, who can tell me the difference between online or (online) in the event-window?
Thank a lot for an answer

Do you mean the difference between "Status changed: Online" and "Signed In (Online)"?

If that is what you're talking about, then the only difference is that in the first case the contact was already signed in and had a status other than online or appear offline (e.g., busy), then changed the status to online. In the second case, the contact was either offline or appeared offline and now signed in or changed the status to online.

Although if that's not what you meant, then please specify...

Hi haz,
thanks a lot for your quick answer. My english is not so well, cause i´m from germany only using school english.
I don´t see a difference between online or (online) in your answer, or i don´t understand it real.
before someone logs in msn (i think his status is showing offline) his status at the contact right button I see (web/online) than he logs in to live msn and gets (online) in the event-window. After logoff the second time log in he gets the status online. Is online not the same as online?
please be so kind and explain it, so that i can understand the difference.
kindest regards jp4u
